Claudio Sanchez, founder of Evil Ink Comics (EIC), creator of THE AMORY WARS and KILL AUDIO, as well as frontman for the epic rock band, COHEED AND CAMBRIA, returns for his eighth consecutive year at San Diego Comic Con with a new series, exclusive merch items and an early look at his forthcoming Amory Wars video game.

KEY OF Z, a brand new mini-series co-written by Sanchez and wife Chondra Echert, follows Ewing– a once proud father and finder of a special gift– across a post-zombie-apocalyptic New York City as he seeks revenge on the two warring gangs who murdered his family. Coming from BOOM! Studios this October, with interior art from The Amory Wars’ Aaron Kuder, cover Art by Nathan Fox and a variant by The WALKING DEAD’s Tony Moore. Key Of Z promises to be a visually stunning dramatic tale!

In celebration of this, Evil Ink will be holding a contest where YOU can be an extra in Key Of Z! That’s right, winners’ faces will be drawn into the comic and their names mentioned somewhere inside. Be a part of Key of Z history forever, look for the QR code at the booth!

SDCC Exclusive! Nathan Fox limited-edition Key OF Z lithograph will be available at the EIC booth (#1031), 250 signed and numbered!

Later this year, EIC will journey into new territory when the ultra-popular The Amory Wars springs into life as a video game for iPad and iPhone. Designed by Man Vs. Games, a display version will be available for viewing at the booth. The game will be available late this year!

The Amory Wars: In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 (EIC/BOOM! Studios) just wrapped up its 12-issue maxi with a dynamic final battle-royale! Trade #3 will be collected just in time to be available at SDCC!

Sanchez and Echert will be on hand to do signings at the EIC booth (1031) at 3pm on Thursday, 4pm on Friday and Saturday, and 1pm on Sunday.
